OBJECTIVE
One of the factors suggested to be causative in hernia formation is defective collagen metabolism. In this study, we investigated whether there is any relationship between the collagen contents of indirect hernial sacs and certain demographic and anatomic parameters.
METHODS
Hernial sac
Fibroblastic cell cultures were derived from the hernial sac and some of the surrounding muscles (rectus sheath, internal oblique, and/or cremasteric muscle) of 130 Saudi patients with different types of herniation, and from 21 control subjects. The rates of cell proliferation were studied for 39
Ventral hernias are a frequent problem in our society. Incisional hernia is not an infrequent sequel of ventral abdominal hernia repair. Incisional hernias are characterized by breakdown of the scar in the abdominal wall from an incision for any previous operation. This differentiates them from
An 84-year-old woman visited a local clinic with the complaint of upper abdominal pain and was referred to our hospital because of a suspected mediastinal tumor. Chest and abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanning were performed and Morgagni's hernia that contained omentum was identified on

According to the literature, defects in para-umbilical hernias up to 2 cm in diameter could be sutured primarily. For defects larger than 2 cm in dimeters, mesh repair is recommended. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of para-umbilical hernia repair with proline mesh
To demonstrate laparoscopic mesh repair of perineal hernia (PH) by a modified sacral-colpopexy technique.Step-by-step demonstration of the technique used for the surgical repair of PH after gynecologic surgery. (Canadian Task Force Classification III) OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine if alterations in fibrillar collagen synthesis were associated with the development of inguinal hernias.
BACKGROUND
Previous work has suggested that alterations in connective tissue accumulation may play a functional role in the development of
BACKGROUND
The pedicled TRAM flap has been a workhorse of autologous breast reconstruction for decades. However, there has been a rising concern about the abdominal wall donor site morbidity with the use of conventional TRAM flap. This has generally been cited as one of the main reasons for
Diverticular disease is common in the elderly Western population and its complications are frequent clinical presentations. Despite this, the pathogenesis of the condition remains relatively poorly understood. Several theories have been developed, the most acceptable suggesting elastosis of the
The aim of this study was to examine the fascia transversalis (FT) from patients with direct and indirect hernia in an attempt to identify possible differences between each type of hernia. FT samples were obtained from 36 patients presenting inguinal hernia (23 indirect hernia and 13 direct hernia)
Two maternal cousins affected by the X-linked form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome have been observed. Both had congenital heart disease, "floppy valve syndrome", hernias, short stature, stretchable skin and moderate joint hypermobility. Both excreted normal amounts of urinary glycosaminoglycans, almost
Little information is currently available concerning the relationship between results obtained in humans from surgical test wounds and results from wound models. Therefore, to evaluate human wound healing parameters, tubings of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene were implanted in a subcutaneous test
BACKGROUND
The persistent müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is characterized by the persistence of the uterus and Fallopian tubes in otherwise normally virilized boys. Its diagnosis is usually made during a surgical procedure for inguinal hernia or cryptorchidism. We report six recent cases of PMDS, in
Background. Therapeutic use of supplemental arginine has been proposed as an efficacious method to produce nitric oxide (NO) from nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and proline and polyamines from arginase to improve wound healing. This study was designed to examine the effects of arginine on wound
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this work was to test the functional role of L-arginine in promotion of nitric oxide (NO) production and the vigorous granulation tissue formation characteristic of this wound model.
BACKGROUND
Therapeutic use of supplemental arginine has been proposed as a safe and efficacious
